MESOC SERAPEUM

Place where Artificial Intelligence meets CULTURE

AI analysis of scientific papers regarding impact of culture

MESOC


        MESOC is a Research and Innovation Action designed to propose, test and validate an innovative and original approach to measuring the societal value and impacts of culture and cultural policies and practices, related to three crossover themes of the new European Agenda for Culture :
         1) Health and Wellbeing,
         2)Urban and Territorial Renovation and
        3)People’s Engagement and Participation.

The global aim is to respond to the challenge posed by the H2020 Call ”To develop new perspectives and improved methodologies for capturing the wider societal value of culture, including but also beyond its economic impact”


MESOC SERAPEUM


        Project idea is to enable MESOC consortium members and other cultural stakeholders to become acquainted with the achievements of artificial intelligence and gain insight into the possibilities of AI. It is work in progress and will be updated regularly.AI tools are especially used to identify transaction variables that define contextualisation of research findings.

Semantic search

Semantic search on articles. Semantic search describes a search engine’s attempt to generate the most accurate search engine results possible by understanding based on searcher intent, query context, and the relationship between words.Semantic search denotes search with meaning, as distinguished from lexical search where the search engine looks for literal matches of the query words or variants of them, without understanding the overall meaning of the query. Some authors regard semantic search as a set of techniques for retrieving knowledge from richly structured data sources

Analysis

Analysis of documents with Artificial Intelligence

The system reviews documents to assess the social impact of culture. The review includes analysis of all and individual documents, clustering, summarizing, keyword analysis, and other analytical tools and methods.


Particular Document Analysis

Document analysis : resolving study technique, key phrases, keywords, summary for article, finding article's cultural category and social impact, ask questions on article, showing wordcloud, finding similar articles from same cluster

Documents cluster analysis


Text clustering is the task of grouping a set of texts in such a way that texts in the same cluster are more similar to each other than to those in other clusters. Text clustering algorithms process text and determine if natural clusters (groups) exist in the data.
As computers work with numbers, text has to be transformed into multidimensional numbers as vectors. We use here 4096 dimensional space.The idea is that documents can be represented numerically as vectors of features. The similarity in text can be compared by measuring the distance between these feature vectors. Objects that are near each other should belong to the same cluster. Objects that are far from each other should belong to different clusters
Topic model is a type of statistical model for discovering the abstract "topics" that occur in a collection of documents. Topic modeling is a frequently used text-mining tool for discovery of hidden semantic structures in a text body.

TRANSITION VARIABLES


contextual elements, which can be measured ensuring that the cultural policy or practice under inspection is generating public value and/or affecting, at least to some extent, the target individuals or groups.




Transition variables show us the paths of transformation and the channels of materialization of the impact, in a richer and more complex analysis than the cause-effect linearity.

Transition processes are complex and non linear, but induce changes across time.

Transition variables enable a better contextualisation of the concrete processes in concrete places and periods.They can be observed in shorter periods of time than the expected impacts.

We can obtain them from the experiences recorded in scientific literature and in grey material reports (evaluation reports, memos, programs...)

Transition variables search and view

We are using a pre-trained BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) model for a text classification task. The main goal of the model in a text classification task is to categorize a text into one of the predefined labels or tags, and in our case to read sentences and to classify them as normal sentences or potential transition variables.
BERT is pretrained on unlabeled data extracted from BooksCorpus, which has 800M words, and from Wikipedia, which has 2,500M words. We are fine-tuning it, by training on our sample of 3500 sentences each of which is manually marked, as trans. variable or anything else.

SOCIAL IMPACTS


Transformative process - Using AI to define social impacts



‘Social impacts’ is the term which describes the changes in the quality of life of the local residents. Changes that affect individuals’ surroundings (architecture, arts, customs, rituals etc.) constitute cultural impacts. The enormous range of impacts include arts and crafts through to the fundamental behaviour and beliefs of individuals and collective groups (Sharpley, 2008; Sharpley & Telfer, 2014).
.


Social impacts generated by AI


We are using DialogGPT to define impacts. DialogGPT is a pre-trained, state-of-the-art language model developed by OpenAI that generates human-like text responses in a conversational context. It uses the latest advancements in artificial intelligence and deep learning to generate context-aware and coherent responses based on the input text. DialogGPT is trained on a massive dataset of text, allowing it to have a diverse range of knowledge and understanding of different topics. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with machines and can be utilized in various industries, including customer service, education, and entertainment.

MESOC TAXONOMY



Structured resources that can be used to improve access to information for related to three crossover themes of the new European Agenda for Culture: 1) Health and Wellbeing, 2) Urban and Territorial Renovation and 3) People’s Engagement and Participation. The Mesoc taxonomy is not simple vocabulary, it is rather unique knowledge base. Through rich metadata and links, the MESOC taxonomy provide powerful tools for knowledge creation, complex research, and structural model of the Societal Dimension of Culture.
